Smile by Nat King Cole : youtu.be/a0Hi-ZKAKMo

"I still cannot believe what YOU have done! I mean... it is good that we're no longer treated like pests, but at what cost? Don't you know what danger you could've brought to (Y/n) with this?!" - stomping in circles , Alice kept scolding, thinking that It'll effect the confident Cheeky Demon. "(Y/n), sweetie, are you alright ? Did it hurt ? Can you eat ? Sleep?" - After a long hour of explaining and telling the truth - they managed to successfully summarize what Alice and Boris missed, while the were shut off. The murder, the comma , the torture , the new abilities and all the time (Y/n) and Bendy spent together. The truth was now shared with them.

"Alice, calm down. I haven't seen you so nervous since the day I lost Wally Franks' keys when sneaking into Samuel's office. Honestly, It passed - I'm perfectly fine. At least I don't have to actually eat and sleep like humans any more."

"Exactly, besides, I made sure that my Creator is in perfect care here with me!" - a quick comment came out of the Dancing Demon who obviously didn't enjoy the way Alice immediately clinged towards (L/n).

"Oh please, like you can eve-"

Boris jumped up and down , clasping his hand together , unable to hold his excitement.

"Boris , my pal , my fellow - the whole place is ours ! You're free to do what you want!" -Bendy chimed in response, and completely ignoring Alice's argument from behind. "Yes, every instrument in the Music Department is yours!"

Boris' smile of approval faded as he ran to the music instruments that were scattered around in the auditorium. He glowed from the inside out. Despite him being mute now - The smile that cracked his face hadn't been seen since years like he walked faster, breathed faster, talked faster.

"Now that's priceless" - Bendy and his Lady leaned on the piano, observing how their old friend Boris finally achieved his dreams - be a musician of this Studio. And by that he meant owning every instrument from the orchestra. "He's so happy!"

Alice confusingly gazed at Bendy and (Y/n) who stood together, enjoying their time. It was in the way their gazes lingered on one another, the way their voices became softer and in the shy grins they'd never worn before. In casual conversation they stood little bit closer than folks usually do, their body language so open and relaxed. Bendy's arm draped over (Y/n) waist, or(Y/n) would take hold of his hands for security.

Alice pursed her dark plump lips. It was well evident that with body and soul. Something the Angel couldn't ever achieve, not even in her dreams. 

An idea ringed inside Alice's head.

"Ah, speaking of Music, we should definitely celebrate - we're back together so we can Play music and dance ! isn't it wonderful ? Just imagine the party with music, dances ... times when we're hyped up more than we should be!"

Boris didn't say anything, but he enthusiastically nodded - showing his agreement with The Female Toon "Why, Thank you Boris, you're the only one who speaks my language!"

The Dancing Demon narrowed his eyes at the Singing Angel. He knew that expression - she'd bite the edge of a smile when she got a funny idea in her head, a vain attempt to keep her creeping grin at bay. The intention behind her perking lips wasn't something that could easily be ensured. That halo was a mockery on her.

"What do you say, Bendy ? We should take a break." (L/n) hummed , averting her (eye-color) eyes to the Toon besides.

"Ya know, I think you're right dear! It won't hurt Pulling another dance show , now would it?" Bendy smirked as he send playful winks to his Muse, reminding who is the main character here. The Dancing Devil knew his opponent was watching from the beginning.

Boris clapped from happiness.

"Wait!" Alice rudely interrupted "um... we can't ...start just yet!"

"Why?" Bendy peers her way, face resolutely unimpressed.

"We...um, should... dress up. Yes! We cannot proceed without actual fancy costumes or attire. Besides, a lady should wear the best dress that she owns - right, (Y/n)?" Alice cocked her head aside, waiting from the Female Creator an answer of support.

"My Last dress was left with... my home... but I had a piece that I was just about to finish. It's a tuxedo dress that I had in the Toy workshop where-"

"Perfect! Don't worry, honey, I'll help you with it. And you boys, you go find something suitable and do something useful while we're busy." - Before anyone could question this kind of behavior, Alice desperately pushed (L/n) away towards the hallway. Anything to separate her from the Inky Demon.

"Excuse yourself? What're we supposed to do?" - The shorter Male Toon Barked as he demanded for an explanation for this sort of idiocy, his anger piling up. The poor (Hair-color) looked from behind Alice, her face full of worry.

"What is it that you don't understand, Ink Demon? I told you, go do something, prepare some music, wait outside ... or just pick a decent bow tie for once." The Singing Angel mumbled under her breath, trying to be patient with her opponent. Both Alice and Bendy gritted their teeth, their furry was explicitly visible.

innocently, Boris whined.

"I-I know! Uh... Bendy, you remember how we wanted to show Boris real flowers from outside?" - (Y/n) added up, trying to break the sudden tension with useful advice.

"Ooooh! Yes, I remember."

"You can take Boris and enjoy some fresh air while Alice and I will work on the dress, it won't be long okay?"

"You were even outside? Fine, doesn't matter , just don't return before you pick a suitable costume!" Too irritated to even complain or argue, Alice let it slide and continued to drag her fellow Female companion - (L/n) ,away from them.

Various materials and instruments layed around on the desk in the Toy Machine factory. Fabric with all sorts of textures were carefully folded in the shelf, while hundreds of needles were stacked in an old plastic box. Alice took hold of the Rich Black Dress, while (Y/n)'s eyes followed her friend's movements, studying her facial micro-expressions

"So not an old fashioned sheath dress or polo dress? Don't you want to try a strapless dress? " - the Angel teased, her golden halo, that was stuck on her head, casting light on her deformed feminine features.

"No, more of a princess Dress with peak lapels and Peter Pan collar - just what I like." - confidently replayed (L/n)

It was well known that Alice is a picture of a strongly feminine woman, Product of the Film Noirs of the 1940s and 50s. Literally means "dangerous woman". She is naive, and would fight for something if it necessary. She can easily mock or insult a character if they're out of her league, yet she stick around those who are worthy of her time and amuses her.

Just like Susie Campbell.

"I'd say it's a weird combination, but nice handiwork nonetheless!"

(Y/n) , on the other hand, was all about simplicity : making things easy, helping those around her to relax and be happy with what they have. When she smiled and laughed Alice couldn't help but smile along too, even if it was just on the inside. To be in her company the Singing Angel felt that she too were someone, that she had been warmed in summer rays regardless of the season.

And Alice knows that better than ever, even more than Bendy realizes.

The Angel was equivalent to her Human voice actor. Susie Campbell had always been a hurricane; She had a lovely voice, dulcet. She already had been all over the map, in and out of relationships, new careers every couple of years. Campbell was determined to impress people and swoop them - which made her unhonest. And very much like her , was made Alice the Angel.

Susie and (Y/n) were colleagues - just very different personalities.

"Oh thanks, I've been working on it for a while now. Although I don't prefer dresses much, it's nice to pick a change a little."

"Androgynous and classy as ever I see darling? You haven't changed." - Alice carefully trailed the needle within the collar.

"Wouldn't say that much... maybe just a little."

(L/n) had had that shy look young women often wear, but it was never morose. Always behind those slightly pursed lips was a smile. And As a girl she had hardly bothered with make-up, her youth made her beautiful enough.

"And what kind of Bow tie did you prepare?"

"Bendy likes Straight End Bow ties, but I think a (Fav-color) Butterfly will do."

"You and Bendy... are very much alike." - The Female Toon slowly hummed, not breaking her gaze from her work.

"Always I'm the one who's the fool in her perspective! Does she really think she's the main character of this Studio?"

The flecks of golden sunshine mingled with the few wispy clouds in the sky. The azure sea overhead showed no signs of any rain no more. The soil that was baked so hard last summer is now soft with rainwater, every step causing a temporary puddle. It was the perfect weather for Bendy and Boris.

Boris looked hesitant to step on a puddle of water, he thought it might be lethal to his Inky body.

"Don't worry Boris, it's water from the rain, I stepped on it. It's fun!"

Bendy and Boris stood in front of the main entrance of the Animation Studio. For the first time in his life , The Inky Wolf gained his freedom that he could only dream of - play on all instruments on the Music Department and be outside for at least couple of minutes.

The colors of the empty street was too perfect, they were vibrant, unweathered by sun or wintry onslaughts. Boris started in awe - His eyes are alight, his every muscle needs to move, to dance, to jump.

"What was I saying... oh yeah- But then she dares to saw insult me and my bow tie! Only to drag (y/n) away?! I'm offended."

The taller Toon sucked in the air as if nothing had ever been so sweet. He could clearly see his reflection on the puddles until he start Splashing through puddles ,as he kept jumping on water, enjoying the crystal droplets flying around. It makes it almost impossible to believe that Boris have survived all those years without seeing brightful colors once in his life.

"But she's not the Boss here!" - Bendy kept barking while pacing back and forth.

Boris started to pick up flowers with happiness.

"~And Done! Give it a try."

(Y/n) swirled causing her black dress to fly and lightly bounce around her. The creamy sheets of the silk dress slipped onto her shoulders, peppering her body with soft, sensual kisses, conveyed with utmost skill the art of pleasing. She walked as lightly as an acrobat, pleased with the brand new attire.

"It's finally done, Alice - Thank you!"

"Oh it's nothing, it was almost done anyway! Besides, I can't imagine anything more suitable for you, hun!" - Alice clasped her hands together, shifting from one high heel to another.

"Um...don't you want something special to wear?"

"But, (Y/n) , I'm always dressed for a party." - a sudden knock emitted from the other side of the room, interrupting the girls "Come in, we're done!"

Bendy walked in, a little too disturbed. He wore a perfect black tailcoat matching his Inky yet classic look. His shoulders held higher as he easily fixed his gloves.

Yet, a more lovely sight awaited him. There stood petite (Y/n). Her skin was soft and flawless. Her eyes seemed to have gotten brighter, more brilliant. They sparkled the moment she locked her gaze with Bendy's who clearly admired her look.

(Y/n) and Bendy stood dumbfounded and just stared at each other without muttering a word, speechless.

Shortly after, Boris followed behind Bendy. In comparison to the Cheeky Demon ,Boris only wore a nice Bow tie that Bendy handed him earlier.

The rest of the day went fast and loud, the auditorium was filled with various kind of music ; Boris was moving like his limbs were made of spaghetti and (Y/n)'s face was a picture of pure excitement, and of course ,Bendy's and Alice's arguments followed by in the back.

Every once in awhile, Bendy will tug his beloved (Y/n) into a dance. They'd float and twist weightlessly across the room, poised and balanced like they were made of silk. Bendy ran his hand over the cloth cover of her ledger, leaning in closer. He wanted to reach out and touch her lips, full and glossy pink even in the fading light of this place. His pitch black eyes in those (eye-color) ones. 

"My tender oozing blossom, you're looking marvelous as ever."

"May I say, so do you, my humble gentleman"

As if Alice didn't notice the they send to each other. Meanwhile Boris kept playing all sorts of musical instruments, the Angel forced (Y/n) to pose for a painting after their dance causing Bendy to complain about how Alice's art wasn't satisfying enough. 

All in all, the crew was having a blast like they never lived before.

"Boris, what song should we play ? 'You belong to me' by Jo Stafford or just 'Hooked on Swing' by Glenn Miller ?" Boris showed 'Dream a Little Dream of Me' by Doris Day to the Female Animator to add up.

Boris and (Y/n) were in the corner, pacing through different sheets and music albums - the choice was wide and rich. Meanwhile the two discussed what to play next, Alice and Bendy were assigned to push off the tables aside and prepare the music department as a dance floor.

"Y'know, it'll be faster if you two joined us to help?!" - Bendy shouted towards (Y/n) and Boris, knowing that Alice didn't want to help him either.

"Maybe if you actually worked then you'll be done by now. It's not like those chairs will put themselves away, you know?" - The deformed Angel mocked the Demon, while lazily glancing at her gloved fingers.

"Oh really? Maybe if you actually did something helpful, rather than standing like a mannequin , then you'd be useful for once in this old place?"

"Ugh, how can I do anything when everything is old and dusty? Look, the walls are barely standing and this Ink Machine will fall apart any day."

"Well if your little pathetic Human Campbell didn't open her filthy mouth to the world, then this place would have been still running!"

(Y/n) and Boris quickly turned towards them in confusion and worry. The Female Creator nudged the Taller Toon nervously.

Alice snapped her eyes wide open, shocked to hear the mentioning of that name again. "Excuse me? It's not my fault that you just couldn't keep your bloody hands off from murdering those gullible people just to lock (Y/n) Away to yourself?"

"What did͇̪ ̷᷈you̫ just s᷃a̸y̝-?̪"

Bendy snapped at her, shoving the wooden chairs loudly away. The Demon and the Angel growled at each other. They didn't look like Toons, they looked like wild animals roaring. It was clear they were meant to be opponents.

The poor Boris stared in fear and worry as he felt (Y/n) cover her mouth. Suddenly, the 26 year old woman pointed at Boris' flute signaling him to take the position. Confusingly, The Wolf acted accordingly.

"BORIS , QUE THE SLOW PIANO MUSIC, let me just get serious here for a second,all right?"

(Y/n) approached the two Toons from aside, taking hold of their shoulders. Alice and Bendy stared at the Female Creator, she bent down to them with a heavy sigh. - "Please, listen to me. Why won't you talk to each - at least for a little. Just give it a try?" - Bendy and Alice turned away, completely disagreeing with this advice. (L/n) trailed to take hold of their arms.

"And even if you don't want to talk - at least smile. For each other...

Oh, Smile, though your heart is aching~ Smile, even though it's breaking~"

Boris's round ears perked upwards upon recognizing those lyrics. Miss (Y/n) was obviously singing the old song "" by Nat King Cole. Realizing (L/n) intentions , the Wolfy Toon stood aside and started playing on his flute. The 26 year old tightened her grip on each arm - Bendy's on the right, Alice from the Left. As music chimed louder, (y/n) slowly tucked their hands to link together.

"Smile When there are clouds in the sky~

You'll get by~"

The Demon and the Angel shrieked upon contact, too displeased and surprised at the sudden actions (Y/n) pulled. (L/n) stood up , She waltzed on with an effortless saunter. The clicking of her tap heels added rhythm to the soft classical music that played onward without pause.

And the music of the flute came quick, rather brilliant like a call-note, or like a long quick message, half command. The (Hair-color) Female relied on Boris' perfect talents. Next move,(Y/n) slowly pushed Bendy and Alice close together, keeping their hands connected.

"If you smile through your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow,"

To Bendy and Alice it was like a message : a pure voice, not only calling, but telling them something, and soothing their soul to peace. Their Muse slowly rocked back and forth in her place while keeping The two toons close by. Eventually The Inky Demon and Angel began to move with music despite their discomfort as well. "Yes, just like that"

"You'll see the sun come shining through
For you~"

Slowly taking Alice's hand, (y/n) placed it on Bendy's shoulder. Now the two were properly waltzing like dance partners ; except for their frowns, and avoided eye contact. (Y/n) stayed close by for a little longer, Dancing close to them , her dress swinging from side to side like peaceful waves.

The lyrics swim through everyone's cerebral cortex like a wakeful dream, the notes relaxing them, enabling the song to call to their entire being. Music could never be something superfluous to anyone, it is medicine delivered in the most divine way. As Bendy and Alice took control of their small dance, (Y/n) gently drove away from them, trusting them to keep Dancing.

"Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near"

Boris Smiled, realizing that the plan is succeeding, (y/n) kept humming and singing keeping an eye on the main dancers. The Demon and the Angel kept their gaze at the floor, looking at their feet mindlessly. Music fills the air without effort, like the waves filling holes in beach sand; Alice glanced upwards, looking at the Demon, her face full of worry and confusion.

"That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?~"

Shortly after , Bendy couldn't help but finally face his rival - she smiled in return.

Finally, the Angel and Demon began to dance with the music more comfortable, realizing their mistakes and actions that they caused to each other. Oh how naive they can be. Bendy crooked a small smile as well.

"You'll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you just smile~"

Then after the last verse, they dived back down, giddy, their breath stolen from their bodies, until all that was left was the silence there was at the beginning. It was a shared journey that held them spellbound in rapt silence.

Bendy and Alice stared at each other in uncertainty.

" That was Amazing ! Splendid ! " - Boris and (Y/n) stood up, approaching the two Toons.

"I'll have to admit, I've never been so selfish before."

"Telling the truth is... I have to apologize. I was ruthless as well." - Hesitantly but honestly, Bendy promised to have patience with Alice, thus apologize to her in return.

"I'm sorry. We could've figured out this dilemma at any time rather than creating this mess." - The great thing about music is that it didn't save your life, it gave you strength and willpower to save your own life; that's the beauty of music. "Me too."

"Who cares about how much time it took, I know it wasn't easy. But I'm proud of you. Very. We need a feats to celebrate that."

Boris hugged all of them.

"Heh, we can bring the ... Bacon soup!"

"Nope, that's a pass."

"Ahah ..I don't think we can eat really"

Boris frowned and shook his head.

"You guys don't like my Bacon Soup?" [Art by ]

WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT ? YOU THOUGHT I WILL MAKE BENDY KILL ALICE JUST FOR THE SAKE OF THE YANDERE FANFIC? GET OUT!
